Do animals go through the same process as humans when they die...
That is where you should stop, a human is an animal.... So it is exactly the same......
But it goes on doesn't it?....
from a Christian point of view?
No for some reason, "humans" are not seen as animals and have no "soul" and are not equal.... They are equal... However there are a FEW christian groups that are starting to remove their heads from their rear ends and realise they are not the only creature to be cared for. Oh may find this interesting to read.... *pastes*
